After quoting this passage from Fuller Mr. H alii well in his biography says : " Some of these wit-combats have been handed down to posterity. The following specimen is preserved in the Ashmolean MSS. At Oxford. " Mr. Ben Jonson and Mr. William Shakespeare being merrie at a tavern, Mr. Jonson having begune this for his epitaph : " ' Here lies Ben Jonson that was once one j ' he gives it to Mr. Shakespeare to make up, who presently writes : " ' Who while he lived was a sloe thing, And now being ...dead is nothinge. '" 1 In 1609 there appeared in London (says Mr. Morgan) an anonymous publication a play entitled " Troilus and Cressida. " " It was accompanied by a preface addressed ' A never writer to an ever reader, ' which in the turgid fashion of the day it set forth the merits and attractions of the play itself. Among its other claims to public favour this preface asserted that the play was one 'never staled with the stage, never claper-clawed with the palms of the vulgar, ' which seems to mean that it had never been performed in a theatre.
